Hi all,

I have configured an alarm on a tag. The alarm enable property is bound to a component, checkbox. If the checkbox is selected, the alarm is enabled.

In the event of an Active Alarm, and then the checkbox is unselected, the Alarm goes disabled but the status remains Active.

my question is, how can I have status reset in that case?

It might be worth creating an expression tag to look at your alarm check box tag and the tag where you have the alarm. This way when the check box is off the alarm will be cleared.
